    Least Privilege for an Autonomous Agent

    aeon’s secretcurl rewrite: every skill declares the keys it needs, and only those keys are injected, only for that call, only into the skill that asked.

    An Agent That Scans Itself

    Three scheduled scanners read aeon’s own codebase: vuln-scanner, skill-security-scan, and workflow-security-audit. What each one does with what it finds.

    Signed by the Agent: Sigstore Attestation

    aeon now signs skill runs via Sigstore. Every eligible run produces an attestation binding its output to the GitHub Actions identity, verifiable independently.

    Skills That Build Skills

    A skill on aeon is a Markdown file - no DSL, no SDK, no compile step. And the agent can author new ones for itself, with git as the audit trail.

    Letting Your Agent Spend Money

    x402, USDC, and a Base Account wallet through the Base MCP - how an aeon agent pays for the APIs it needs without API keys, credit cards, or prefunded billing.

    The Agent That Runs While You Sleep

    Why aeon does not need a server, a Dockerfile, or a 3 AM page. The architecture behind background-first agents on GitHub Actions.
